Single frame. Zelenskyy, Trump and Putin. Putin is shaking the hand of Zelenskyy - which has come away from his body. Putin also holding Z’s severed legs, while Z is on a stool. Trump between them , hands on their backs, says to Z, “You haven’t thanked me enough.”

Beverly tea towel (pre-order for pre-Christmas delivery). — Cathy Wilcox You may have seen Beverly before - she’s been on a mug, and features in my Hoary Chestnuts book, but I thought it was time to give her the pride of place she deserves - on a tea towel. She’s bold, and...

Also Beverly.

(50 years since) The Dismissal tea towel (pre-order for pre-Christmas delivery) — Cathy Wilcox Were you around when John Kerr had secret chats with Malcolm Fraser (et al) resulting in Gough Whitlam being booted from the top job - a low point in Australian democracy? Then you were also there for...

There was a power outage at the printing plant apparently, which meant they had to go without 8 pages!

Someone has asked for a couple of Dismissal anniversary tea towels. I’m about to make an order. Does anyone else want one (they may be around $50 each if a run of 10)?

Albanese basically just blurting out ExxonMobil / Woodside Energy talking points - but because it's Albanese, it doesn't get debunked in the article text.

“If Australia is serious about supporting Ukraine and upholding sanctions, it must follow the UK and EU by announcing a ban on imports of fuels refined from Russian crude and shutting down the backdoor channels that continue to finance Russia’s aggression.”

Really important point in this. You don’t have to be able to understand something for it to be so. Who, who has never felt to be in the wrong body, can truly understand someone who feels that way? Unless they’ve also experienced an identity crisis, which to my understanding is a good comparison.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

‘Transgender’ putting  describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Truly. We’ve been missing this simple solution. He always believes what the last person he talked to tells him to believe. We just have to make sure a stream of incredibly charming, ethical socialists fill his calendar henceforth, persuading him that kindness is cool.

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.
